Think back about the opening three minutes of Quidam and discuss
these questions:

In what ways did Quidam meet the expectations you formed when
you heard it described? What surprised you?

What kinds of movement did you see? Would you call this dance?

How did the music communicate an idea, feeling, or process?

How were dramatic and visual elements used to juxtapose reality and
fantasy?

What are some big questions that you have about this work?

What is your understanding of the enduring idea/understanding that
fantasy impacts our perception of reality?

Programs 2 and 3 will explore the topics of research, criticism, and
historical precedents. You will discover how Cirque du Soleil has integrated
the arts to create a unique contemporary art form all its own.
